		<description><![CDATA[I like responding to comments over here. It gives me a little more room to &#8220;spread myself&#8221; as Mark Twain would say. That reminds me. We&#8217;re almost finished with Tom Sawyer, and I think more kids than usual are actually enjoying it. I had one kid come up to me at the Open House for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So it&#8217;s not tomorrow&#8230; First, a correction. During the photo tour of my classroom, I said that I thought I had moved in about 10 years ago. My how time does fly. It was 1996 when I moved into my present digs. My 7th graders weren&#8217;t even born yet. (Scary thought, that.) I even found [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rather than replying to comments over there, I figure I can pad my post stats (this one is #201 btw) by answering questions over here. Yes, I am very lucky to have such a large room. It is a beautiful thing. Well, maybe not beautiful. About ten years ago our campus was remodeled and expanded, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(Continuing a previous post, answering questions from a new teacher. The first question was about the KBAR independent reading program. Click here if you&#8217;re interested in that one.) Question: Pedagogically speaking, when do you teach grammar? Or is it something that simply presents itself at an opportune time?
